Extract

Each of us has witnessed news reports and graphic television scenes of the willful targeting of innocent noncombatants by military forces; the displacement of tens of thousands of men, women, and children; and the diabolical genocidal tactics of “ethnic cleansing” of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. An international effort to establish a United Nations war crimes tribunal is being developed, but even this plan is running out of steam for lack of funding. These events are unfolding in “civilized” and “enlightened” Europe. We all know what is happening, yet world leaders have been reluctant to intervene.
